    @ohir I do fear you are right.Right now it's quite some muddy waters, where several forks appearing. And some have even disappeared. These muddy waters need to calm down at some point.For a fork to be sustainable, it need to have enough contributors and users. Contributors need to cover development, needed infrastructure, support and (what you mention) finances to keep things rolling.I don't think it's sustainable that we have so many forks appearing these days. The strongest ones of them should unite and setup a non-profit organisation, which others could join as well. Perhaps using a similar model as Codeberg.With such a joint effort, the marketing towards end users can be much more uniform and targetted, which would be easier for users to relate to. Just as Firefox managed to take over the position of Netscape (even though Firefox was spun out of Netscape, so not directly comparable).I would truly encourage @librewolf, @zenbrowser, @Waterfox, @konform and other forks to get together and look at the possibilities to collaborate on a broader scale. I don't say they should abandon their own "uniqueness", but that they can find a way to help contribute to a more healthy and sustainable environment for important forks to actually survive and be sustainable. Have something "shared" at the core across all forks, where they can build their own uniqueness from. Have a shared vision and mission statement, have a united front for a privacy respecting browser family.

    Today I donated a few bucks to an open source project that I have fallen in love with.I was a bit disheartened after searching around a bit to see many people discussing how they've never donated to an #opensource project, even if they use it daily. So here's a gentle reminder: We think nothing of spending $20 a month to subscribe to a megacorp, so how about instead you take a minute to donate five bucks to an #OSS project you use and enjoy. If everyone did that, the impact would be huge.
